Blueprint Coffee and Books cafe was our friend's suggestion, so with a slight hesitation (as Whistable has dozens of places with atmosphere and entourage similar to Blueprint), me and my family headed to it after we arrived to Whistable Railway Statation. Firstly, I must admit that the location is nearly perfect - it is right at the beginning of the High Street and about 8 minutes walk from station. Secondly, I am the person who prefers calm and tranquil places like local libraries, but feels a bit embarressed to have any food or drinks inside, so my review may be a bit biased towards that. Nevertheless, the cafe is perfect spot for me as it is one of the (if not the only) quietest I have ever visited! I also love the limited amount of seats and the use of sounds of the instuments or really dim music instead of doggy pop songs, which stick in your head and distract from studying or working. As for food, I had a chance to try Cinnamon Stroll and Almond Croissant, which are both delicious and fresh. The fomer one had an unusual cinnamon flavour (I am comparing with Cinnamon Bun from Gwyn's Bakery in Horsham and with Cinnamon Social from Ole&Steen in London) which is great for me and the latter one had a lot of feeling inside, so my younger sister couldn't finish it and had it as an afternoon snack after. Additionaly, latte was also up to a standard of independant coffee shops lattes and the barrister (shame I didn't ask his name) was polite and friendly chap. Overall, I recomended it to those people, who like me, would enjoy the atmosphere, but it could be a disadvantage for some. (P.S. You can always go for takeaway option!)
